Netley Abbey is a Cistercian monastery founded in 1239 by Henry III in the parish of Netley, Hampshire. The abbey was dissolved during the Reformation in 1536 and its precinct wall and moat survive as archaeological remains defining the monastic enclosure. The precinct wall enclosed the functional and devotional spaces of the monastery, whilst the moat provided both practical water management and defensive demarcation of the sacred community's boundary. These earthwork and structural features date primarily to the medieval period and remain significant for understanding the spatial organisation and material culture of a substantial English Cistercian house.
